Court Stops Standard From Linking Charlene Ruto to Police Uniform Tender

The High Court issued interim orders barring the Standard Media Group from publishing allegations linking Charlene Ruto, President William Ruto's daughter, to a Ksh2.8 billion procurement contract for new police uniforms. Charlene Ruto challenged these allegations, claiming they damaged her reputation. The court ordered the Standard to remove the information online and submit a formal response within seven days. The case is set for mention on October 19, 2026.
